How to pass usernm/psswd to pfsense - Generating Sarg reports from Shell script

gderf

Have you tried passing the username and password via the wget?

–http-user=your-username --http-password=your-password

abarakat

Yes, that didn't work either :(

For those who are interested, I found the solution

The first wget should call the main login page of pfsense not the required link, the second wget will call the required link.

wget -q -O /dev/null –keep-session-cookies --save-cookies cookies.txt
--post-data "login=Login&usernamefld=admin&passwordfld=mypassword"
--no-check-certificate http://10.0.1.5

wget --keep-session-cookies --load-cookies cookies.txt
http://10.0.1.5/sarg_reports.php --no-check-certificate

I'm re-opening this topic :(

After I upgraded to pfsense 2.1 the above solution is not working anymore. has anything changed ???

Now, I'm getting the following

wget –keep-session-cookies --save-cookies cookies.txt
--post-data 'login=Login&usernamefld=admin&passwordfld=pfsense' "http://10.0.0.5/sarg_reports.php"
-O User_Acess_Report.dmp --no-check-certificate --2013-10-10 14:46:49-- http://10.0.0.5

Hi guys!

Why not use plink if youre doing it from windows machine?

Plink here: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
Example config:

@echo off
echo yes | C:\Tools\Putty\plink.exe -ssh -P SSH_PORTNUMBER -pw MYPASSWORD root@MYPFSENSEIPADDRESS "exit"
C:\Tools\Putty\plink.exe -ssh -P SSH_PORTNUMBER -pw MYPASSWORD root@MYPFSENSEIPADDRESS "/usr/local/bin/php /usr/local/www/sarg.php 0"

second line will auto accept host certificate, second line will execure sarg report…

Thanks Maverick

But I'm using Linux not windows.

Hello, everyone.

I too have noticed that version 2.1 has broken my old reconnection scripts. The login method shown in the documentation page for the config backup script apparently no longer works, and while using plink may still be a valid solution I'm not using Windows either (and if at all possible I'd like to stick to bash and wget/curl).

So I'd like to have some help here, and it would be nice if the documentation got fixed as well.

Thanks.
